3. ANNUAL WATER QUALITY SUMMARY FOR 2016

The City of Brockville’s Water Systems Division is responsible for the Brockville Drinking Water System under O. Reg. 170/03 including water treatment plant, trunk water distribution system (elevated storage, reservoirs, booster stations) and local water distribution systems. Staff’s primary responsibility is water treatment and distribution in compliance with all applicable legislation and municipal drinking water licences and drinking water works permits. Routine water quality testing and continuous monitoring of water quality and quantity is conducted to ensure compliance. All data from SCADA, process control point data, in-house laboratory results and external laboratory results are all captured in a WaterTrax data management system.

3.1 Water Quality Data Raw and treated water is sampled and tested for chemical, physical and microbiological parameters in accordance with the requirements of O. Reg. 170/03 and individual municipal licences and permits. Sampling is also conducted in the distribution system primarily for bacteriological indicators and evidence of sustained chlorine residuals. Enhanced sampling programs are also defined by the Water Systems Division, and testing procedures followed and where necessary submitted to external accredited laboratory for analysis. This level of water quality monitoring ensures public health and public confidence in the water supply. The majority of analysis is conducted by an external accredited laboratory, with some specialized analysis contracted to other accredited laboratories. In accordance with Schedule 16 of O. Reg. 170/03, all required notifications of adverse water quality incidents are provided to the Spills Action Centre and Medical Officer of Health.

SYSTEM 5.1 Water System Description The City of Brockville provides treated water from its Water Treatment Plant to the Elizabethtown-Kitley Water Distribution System (Class I) west of the City. This is facilitated through a 10 kilometer water main that extends along County Road #2 to the Country Club, through a meter chamber and associated appurtenances. This distribution system services approximately 350 residential customers. This system was installed in 1996 by the Ministry of Transportation and the Ontario Clean Water Agency and turned over to the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley.

A booster station at Lily Bay provides for increased pressure only. The Township Fire Department is aware of this operational constraint and does not use the distribution system for firefighting or training purposes. An automated flushing station at the end of the service line is required to maintain free chlorine residual above the regulated minimum level of 0.20 mg/L. City Staff operate and maintain this system on behalf of the Township as the “Operating Authority”. Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley Drinking-Water System Number: 260007777
